I liked your teaching philosophies. Teaching the whole child is an EXCELLENT philosophy to have! Not only does a child need to learn the basic facts in a particular lesson, but becoming an effective eacher teaches the ENTIRE child. Academically, socially, emotionally, physically- a great teacher should DEFINIELY inspire the child in multiple ways and angles!
Meghan, I really enjoyed your teaching philosophy! I like how you said multiple intelligences because a lot of people forget that each child has a different learning style. From your teaching philosophy it sounds like you are going to have a very fun classroom. It is important to teach the whole child because children are going to look up to you and will absorb anything you have to say!
Creativity is one teaching philosophy that I chose also, and many other future teachers believe in it too. It is very important to let the student be creative and open minded when it comes to their work. I really liked all of your list, and hands-on teaching was another great point. Many children learn better from that experience, so never take that chance away from them.
hi Meg! Regarding your whole child teaching philosophy:
ASCD recently released a short video on YouTube that dynamically captures the message of the Whole Child.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTRKHR-6i3k
ASCD hopes you'll watch the video, share it with your colleagues, and continue to help ASCD spur conversations across the country about how to ensure each child is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.
Comment on the video: http://ascd.typepad.com/blog/2007/08/we-tube.html
Next steps?: ASCD's new Community Conversations resource has background information on the whole child campaign, a PowerPoint presentation, and facilitator's guides to help you convene a conversation. Go to www.wholechildeducation.org for more. And best wishes! ~laura
